1. How Do I Get One Of Your Catalogs?

We don't retail to the public, so our catalogs are distributed to our nationwide network of dealers, distributors and original equipment manufacturers.

As of 4/99, anyone may dowload our entire 50 page catalog in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) This single .pdf file retains the formatting of the printed version; using Adobe's free "Adobe Reader" software, you may view it on your computer and print it out.

If you are: 1) unable to take advantage of our free downloadable catalog; 2) can't get one from one of our dealers; or 3) merely prefer to receive the printed version, send $5 (to cover our handling and mailing costs) to us as follows:

Make sure to include your name and mailing address with your check or money order (please do not send cash as we cannot be held responsible if it is lost in the mail). We will send you one of our catalogs via First Class mail as soon as we receive your request.

2. Does Azusa Sell Directly To The Public? / How do I find an Azusa dealer?

No. We are not set up to handle retail business. Our products are sold through a network of dealers and distributors located throughout the United States and other countries of the world. These dealers and distributors are set up to efficiently and economically obtain and ship to you virtually any of the components you see in our catalog. Most dealers accept credit cards. We do not. Contact us and we will be happy to provide you with the name and contact information of an Azusa Dealer near you. It is easiest for us to help you with dealer information if you let us know your area of interest and provide us with some information about where you are located -- city, state, (country outside of the U.S., if applicable) zip code and area code are most helpful.

3. What If My Local Dealer Or Shop Doesn't Stock The Azusa Products I Want?

Easy. Ask the dealer to order them for you. Your dealer can easily add your item to his standard or special orders and will recieve it from us quickly. If the item is something you purchase often, ask your dealer to stock the item. In the unlikely event that you have no luck, contact us by mail, phone, fax or e-mail and we will refer you to dealers near you who will obtain the item(s) for you.

4. How Do I Become An Azusa Dealer?

Mail or fax your request to become an Azusa Dealer to the attention of our Sales Department on your business letterhead. In the body of your request, describe your existing business including items you stock or intend to stock and your sales area in general. Also, please include a STATE RESALE NUMBER and a copy of your business license. We have no "buy-in" requirements, but you will be asked to maintain a reasonable, varied inventory in order to retain your dealer status.

6. Azusa's Line Is Limited To Fun Kart Parts Only, Isn't It?

No. While we inventory a larger variety of fun kart components than anyone else in the industry, we also carry a wide variety of highest quality racing kart components that are at least equal to and often better than other comparable products, including: Axles, Sprockets, Bearings, Chain and Racing Clutches such as the full line of L&T Racing Clutches.

7. Does Azusa Have Its Own Line Of Racewear?

You bet. Our complete line of "Made-In-The-U.S.A." racing suits, racing pants, jackets and helmet cushions (racing collars) is tailored in our own plant in Covina, CA. As a result, we are able to maintain an extremely reasonable pricing structure.
     While Azusa's racewear is available in Nylon 420, for both safety and overall performance, we recommend our DuPont Cordura® Plus nylon Racewear for racing. Its 1000/280 denier, which refers to the weave, it is one of the toughest, most durable and abrasion-resistant nylon fabrics available. With the look of cotton duck, it has the superior strength, rugged durability and performance of best quality nylon. With excellent resistance to scuffing and pilling despite demanding use, its super-softness makes it stylish and comfortable as well as functional. Only 11 oz. per square yard, it has three  times the abrasion and puncture resistance of vinyl, four  times that of standard nylon and twenty  times that of cotton duck.
     Ankle and wrist webbing is of the highest quality - double layer - the same used by the National Football League. Our suits have an expansion back for comfort and are lightweight and comfortable, but thick, with foam at the knees and elbows for added protection.
     We carry a full range of adult and child sizes, available in red, black, blue, orange, yellow, silver, purple or teal, with contrasting chest panels in any color you specify. Arm or Leg Stripes are also available for a nominal extra charge. You may pay a lot more for a racing apparel, but you won't get better than Azusa Racewear.
